The 2021 Schloss Johannisberg Grünlack Riesling Spätlese offers a wonderfully complex nose with aromas of sliced pear, white peach, and white currant, lifted by delicate floral hints. On the palate, it’s juicy and vibrant, bursting with natural grape sweetness balanced by a striking minerality that carries through to a focused, long, and pristine finish. This wine delivers a classic Rheingau experience—pure, piquant, and intensely aromatic—while maintaining a bright, refreshing character. Despite its sweetness, it feels lively and precise, with a saline, mouthwatering finish that keeps things balanced and fresh. A timeless expression from one of the region’s great vineyards, perfect to enjoy now or cellar for years to come.

The complex nose of sliced pear, white peach and white currant with delicate floral notes pulls you into this very juicy and vibrant Spatlese that leaps and bounds over your palate, in spite of the frank natural grape sweetness. Then comes the radical minerality at the very focused, long and pristine finish. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Schloss Johannisberg Gr?nlack Riesling Sp?tlese is a pure, piquant and intensely aromatic yet refreshing and bright Rheingau classic from the bottom of the slope, even though the wine has an alpine character. On the palate, this is a pretty sweet yet piquant, precise and lush Sp?tlese with a cleansing and stimulating, saline and salivating finish. 8% stated alcohol with 89 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
